My wife and I stopped by Finkle's today.

Water is up quite a bit. The hole is still there.

Lot's a dead and dying fingerlings. They look like Pike on the bottom beside the ramp. I couldn't get my hands on one without swimming.

There were some jumping out of the water at the same spot. There were probably a couple of dozen dead and all appeared to be the same species and different sizes (years ?).

Never seen that.

They were quite long and narrow with dark vertical bands. Closest picture I googled was Pike. I did look a Lake Trout, maybe they are.
I'm puzzled as to why all the different sizes of the apparent same species dying in the same spot at the same time.
The only other idea I came up with was someone dumping fish that had been caught or raised elsewhere and they didn't survive.
Wonder if the MNR stocks fish there.
They definitely look like game fish.

I think this picture is a bit better.

These are trout, they are from the recent stocking the ministry does from Finkle's Shore. There is a bit of a mortality rate with the little ones.. Fyi Tom

What kind of trout were stocked at finkles and when?

I'm guessing if there were dying trout still there on wed they must have been stocked tues or wed.
I spoke to someone from the Napanee club and they stock their browns there in the fall.
they look to bee a LOT SMALLER than the browns that were stocked at Athol Bay a couple of weeks ago

I didn’t know that either. I do know they stock at main duck and also off Amherst. No shortage of laker stocking.

Iam confused I thought when you stock trout it had to be in a tributary like a creek say millhaven creek
So when they spawn they go back to that creek Can someone confirm this? I maybe wrong

Lake trout spawn on gravel beaches in the fall.

There has been research done that proves that somme browns do spawn on big gravel shoals in the Great Lakes.
Also I have caught them with roe bags on some of these shoals in February still full of eggs.
